this is still the mood.

I'm sooo excited about it no matter what they do! but honestly, I would like some original new scenes/interactions or maybe some slightly different plot points. as long as it keeps the important themes and characterization I'd love to see something other than the exact same story beat-for-beat.

a couple that are on mine!


Pompeii (Bastille)
this one especially reminds me of Clef.

Quote
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

Better Days (The Goo Goo Dolls)
very post-MKR2

QuoteSo take these words and sing out loud
'Cause everyone is forgiven now
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

The Call (Regina Spektor)
very much suited for MKR2

QuoteJust because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

City of Angels (30 Seconds to Mars)

QuoteLost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers, I
Found myself in the fire burnt hills
In the land of a billion lights

what songs remind you of MKR?  if you're making a fanmix or general MKR-themed playlist, what do you have on it? 

I want to expand my own tiny one...

if it might not be totally apparent why a certain song reminds you of MKR, you don't have to justify it if you don't want to!

Hikaru's star sign is Leo: a fire sign.
Umi's star sign is Pisces: a water sign.
Fuu's star sign is... Sagittarius: a fire sign!

Why not an air sign?! Did CLAMP choose Sagittarius because of its symbol - the Archer/the Arrow?

I know, right?? it must have been because of the arrow.

tbh she's not much of a stereotypical sag. but then Umi's definitely not a pisces, I think she's a scorpio if she's any water sign!

I think Fuu's more of an aquarius, as far as air signs go. Hikaru is definitely a Leo though.

big mood

as I've gotten older I've learned to consume my media more objectively and generously, and it's opened up a lot of characterization for me.  I shot my mouth off a bit early in the Hikaru Discussion thread, years ago, but I've learned how to reconcile the differences in her character and what annoyed me about it, I learned to "read" her differently.

I've also gotten less "fangirly" and more "emotionally compromised", especially reading the end of the manga.  I've been with Hikaru, Umi and Fuu for 17 years now, and they mean a lot to me and, honestly, to who I am.  I feel their feels.

it's just so frustrating how the anime took one of the most important Themes of the manga story and slapped it in the face.  the rejection of self-sacrifice and Hikaru promising to herself that there will be no more meaningless deaths...  then they off Eagle to simplify the love triangle and for cheap emotional pull.  they could've easily had Eagle decide to back off Hikaru and Lantis romantically, that could be so moving if done well, but the writing in the anime is a bit clunky in general IMHO.

Hikaru was not willing to step over Eagle's body in order to assume the position of Pillar, she was ready to die with him first.  and she would've done that for anyone, and that is so important to her character, and how Umi and Fuu are the only reason she survived?  god the whole "friendship is magic" theme of the series comes to a head there.

And maybe even monsters might appear more if she's fearful or something.

Also, does Cephiro gets sad when she leaves???

L8 but oh my god I love this.  if I ever get back into writing/fic/drabbles there is some prime stuff right there.  I'm gonna be thinking about this :0

Like, we know she learned magic from Clef to protect Emeraude, is that how they met? Other than maybe thinking he's good-looking, just what draws her to him enough that she wants to die with him? Did he ever do anything nice for her? Did someone else hurt her? Is this the latest in a string of bad relationships (or non-relationships) that just makes her give up hope for ever having a good one? Has she always had these kind of obsessive tendencies?

there's some damn good fic in there, especially the first one.

I think Umi is more privileged than "spoiled". she's a little full of herself sometimes but she's not snooty; she's very generous and friendly.

Happy Umi Week!
